今年はなんとなく蔵王に行きたかった。とういうことで先週行ってみた。
山形駅に着いたら雪が全然なかった。送迎バスが迎えにくるはずのだが、結局送迎ぼろいバンが迎えに来た。
新幹線ってかっこいいね。
ゴミ(荷物)をホテルのフロントに預かり、スキー場に直行。リフト券はICチップになっていて、15回で3500円。
飛び降り禁止って。。。
飛び降りる人はいるの?
自殺コース。
樹氷はちゃんと樹氷のかたちになっていなかった。普通はこんな感じです
現地の人によると、雪は通常と比べるとの3分の1以下降った。
やまの上には雪は奇麗。下におりると雪は溶けたかき氷状態に。
一日のスキーが終わったら、お風呂は最高ですね。ここの風呂はなかなかよかった。
食事はいまいちだったけど。
食事が終わったらお風呂場に戻り。。。
これなんと言うでしたっけ?足風呂?めっちゃ熱かった。
泊まったのは蔵王国際ホテル。風呂は奇麗だったけど、かなりぼろいホテルですね。また泊まりたいと思わない。
次の日は滑る予定だったのだが。。。
妻が転びねんざをToT。パトロール隊の人たちは親切すぎる(嬉涙)。一日中は現地のクリニックで。
天気はとてもよく、スピードを気持ちよく出す人はかなりいた。そんな中、けがした人は続出し、クリニックでは20分ごとに人が運ばれて来た。

Looks great!
Doesnt look that busy either.

Nice to see you saw sense and didnt risk skiing in your clunky trooper cozzie!
Shame there's been no snow in Tokyo though. Snow is hands down my favourite weather.

Hope your wife's leg is better now!

I miss the snow. Here it is March and I was out cutting the lawn. Last time I skied, I had my poles stolen! Cost me a pretty penny on the fee because they were rentals.

Hope your wife is feeling better.

the climate is definitely changing for the worse, you can notice that everywhere, some days are so hot in Brazil that you have to walk around carrying a mobile electric fan to stand the heat or avoid to walk outside in certain hours of the day.

I imagine myself jumping on that snow to cool off.

Lots of snow here. 

Even if it is cold (-13°C tomorrow!), it is much less than last year. Winter came later than usual too.

It may be more pleasant not to deal with fierce blizzards and frostbite too often, but I am worried about the long-term effects of human activity on the planet...

Looks so peaceful and relaxing, just the sort of thing I need right now.  Both my fiancee and I have been working our asses off since the beginning of the year.

I'm sure you both had a nice time.  Sorry to hear your wife sprained her leg.  Hope she is doing well.

Dam it's been so long since I been on skis, probably would just tumble down the slope. ^o^ ^^;  I did try snowboarding a couple of years ago.

It has been a freaky winter.  I think the weather here in Michigan has changed a lot since I was younger.  Thunderstorms in the middle of winter and all these ice storms was unheard of here in years pass.  Probably proof we are screwing the planet all to #ell.

Ugh, with the windchill it's -21 C right now.

Danny, I have always been a big on trains.  Would you consider adding the photos of the N4 MAXs to wallpaper.  The image number is 5369.  Thanks...

it hardly snows in australia but australia's weather is always random, since it could be sunshine one minute and next minute hailstorms or thunderstorms. i've nv seen it actually snowing before so i would love to go to a country like japan during winter and just sit and watch it snow n enjoy the negative temperatures =D

I know we have received more snow here in Kentucky than I've seen in the last 5 years.

Zer0,
I'm not that knowledgeable about cars. I guess a car that has lots of space to display figures?

minaseさん、
そうですね、風呂はなかなか良かったです。部屋は正直ぼろい^^;

Piecemakr,
I should have included snowboarding too ^^;

Gordon, ellcy90, D_Blade, AndyH,
Thanks - shes much better now.

Milkham,
They can be tight fisted over here sometimes...

Bobby R,
I dont think Tokyu Hands ship abroad - sorry!

Edward,

dude, i went to zao a few years back with a school group... stayed at a ryokan next to that fancy lookin hotel, went to that same bathhouse place u have pics of there every day.  my first time skiing and at an onsen... was freakin great.  loved the haagen daaz green tea ice cream vending machine and the 100 yen onigiri, and the old lady selling these mustard-covered balls on a stick (dunno what that's called) right outside.  never could make it down THE WALL, but was able to do the quad pretty well by the 4th day or so :D  then i tried going off a snowboard jump on the left slope and landed on my arm, lol

who knows, maybe you skiied right over the remains of my broken sunglasses

I'm surprised that there's so few people there. Here in Australia it is quite busy during winter. Every time I go skiing it's quite crowded.
I love skiing, skiing in Japan looks really good. The onsen looks appealing, would love to relax in one after skiing for the whole day.
The only thing to look froward to here after a long day of skiing is a shower and then sit in front of a fire.
Well I'm not complaining, as long as I get to ski.
